JK--bugs are indeed a problem and the humidity is intense but if you can survive that, you're rewarded with springs and falls that are spectacular. I don't think I'd like all the snow and intense cold--my mom moved south to escape the Wisconsin winters--so we each enjoy our own particular regions. And thats a good ting. (PS--Spanish moss grows only in the coastal areas and it's very beautiful. Henry Ford tried using it to stuff cars seats in Model T's. It was not a good idea!)Iron Guy Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719802406868125435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-56050372479492394692017-11-17T07:26:03.191-05:002017-11-17T07:26:03.191-05:00It's also the large bugs, humidity, and Spanis...It's also the large bugs, humidity, and Spanish moss, Carl! Even Cincinnati, where I lived for years, is almost too far south. As for devil worshipping in Ohio-- probably in some rural areas! I'm going to stick to my leafy suburban neighborhood with a few Japanese beetles and Rollie pollies.

Racial profiling does indeed exist but its in the larger society. It's hard to believe that schools practice it anymore. If they do, they're as rare as devil worshipers in Ohio!Iron Guy Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719802406868125435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-18304904853172778202017-11-16T18:53:11.049-05:002017-11-16T18:53:11.049-05:00Oh, don't be so hard on us. I've lived in ...Oh, don't be so hard on us. I've lived in the South all my life and I could have seen the events in the Feinstein book happening 60, 50 or even 30 years ago but no one cares about those things anymore. Our own Cam Newton graduated from Auburn, about as Deep South as you could get, and nobody cared about his skin color. Besides, school athletic departments are under tremendous pressure to win and any coach, athletic director or dean that denied, even subtly, a good athlete a place on a team would not keep his/her position for long. Nor would a prestigious school hold its prestige for long. Any school that had not had a black quarterback would have been suspect twenty years ago. Especially in these days of social media. Any school that attempted anything like this would have its name all over every social media outlet and investigations would occur at once. Maybe I'm naive but I don't think so. Does racial profiling still happen? Definitely. But a school. even a prestigious one, trying that these days? Hard for me to swallow. Besides, the next review said there's devil worship in Ohio!
